My background

I facilitate personal and professional development through coaching conversations and facilitated learning in groups. Working on the individual and organisational level, I bring out issues that are of strategic relevance and focus attention on the behaviours that will promote change. I believe that conversations that give rise to new insights enable leaders to make a difference to the world. This is why I do the work.

I started life as an engineer, designing and developing novel engine components and production processes. I liked the tangible output from this work.

After several years, I was invited to change my career. I entered the world of talent management and organisational development. I became fascinated in how adults learn and grow, and how they find meaning and interpret their lives through work. This laid the foundation for my research on personal transformation, the subject of my PhD. I use the knowledge and the frameworks that I built from this work to inform my coaching and group work. I also use it to underpin the learning approach that I take in programme design and delivery.

In my spare time I write and make stained glass windows. Both allow me to enter the creative flow and balance the more cerebral work I do from the organisational perspective.
